Woman held at gunpoint during Brooklyn Park home invasion; suspect not found, police say

Authorities say an armed home invasion in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, Friday morning prompted a “significant police presence” and “large-scale search,” but the suspect was not found.

According to the Brooklyn Park Police Department, a male of unknown age entered a home on the 7600 block of Hampshire Avenue North and held a woman at gunpoint “for a brief period.” 

Officers responded around 5 a.m., but the suspect left before the woman even called 911. Though two other police departments aided in the search, the suspect eluded capture.

The invasion is being investigated.
